Yeah and now they're stuck with her even longer.

Anyone know what the average time before someone's been scheduled and on weight after one of these hospitalizations? It feels like there's been so many since the Weigh in time change.

I understand the decision, but she's held the belt less than a year. If it was a more established fighter they would have likely given her more time. In a developing division, I don't expect them to wait around for her over and over though.

Hopefully Montano gets her poo poo together. Contrary to a lot of opinions, I've found her to be pretty cool to watch and a promising prospect. Bullet is the champ the division needs though and I'm a big fan, so I won't be complaining about the move at all.

I get it I guess. Being the not real champ of a not real division and not defending your title for a year doesn’t really endear you to the UFC or fight fans. Wish the fight would have happened to make the division have some kind of meaning.

Bit odd to strip her over this but not too shocking given Montano hasnt fought since December. I'm gonna assume they'll book Shevchenko vs a CAF for the belt at 230.

I'm guessing because they never really wanted her to begin with.

They think she's ducking Shevchenko so they're just gonna book Shevchenko vs. somebody willing to fight her for the title instead

Montano last UFC fight to being stripped: Dec 1 2017 - Sept 7 2018, 9 months 6 days

One of them generates millions upon millions of dollars in revenue for the UFC, the other might generate hundreds of dollars.

actually not defending the belt for a year probably net lost them a bunch of money because the division stagnated

Of the fighters stripped for injury or inactivity (instead of failing a steroid test or going to another promotion/contract dispute) here's the time between last fight and time of strip, in days:

Conor (LW) - 511
Conor (FW) - 350
Cruz - 828 (the only person to have defenses)
Ferguson (interim) - 182
Mir - 419
De Randamie - 128

Nicco is at 280

If Colby (Another interim champ) gets stripped tomorrow once Woodley/Till happens, he'll be at 91 days

Colby was already stripped. He barely made at most like 2 months with the interim title.

Because he is, the article (and Dana's original statement) say he's stripped once the Woodley/Till fight happens. Basically a repeat scenario of Conor's recent stripping where he lost the belt once Khabib's fight started

If they want to light a fire under the division they should convince Joanna Champion to fight Schevchenko for the Flyweight title on the co main of like the Toronto card or something.

Arlovski is weird becuase his chin seems somehow to have gotten better with age and I don't get it. Also his fighting style went from this complicated Freddie Roach trained footwork heavy "gonna go into boxing" poo poo into this "I'm throwing right hands over and over and gently caress defense" and he started winning fights again in his late 30s.

Heavyweight is so weird.
